Prosecutor General Yury Chaika to delegate the investigation into the
killing of a family of seven, of which a Russian soldier is suspected,

Federation and Armenia concerning the jurisdiction and mutual legal
assistance on cases related to the presence of the Russian military
base on the Armenian territory, Armenian Prosecutor General Gevorg
Kostanian has asked Russian Prosecutor General Yury Chaika to hand
the proceedings into the killing of seven Armenian citizens in Gyumri

the crime.
